Description

Simple distraction-free text editor without any rich text nonsense. The simplicity is a feature.

■ Highlights

- No formatting. Just text.
- Edit any plain text file like .txt, .csv, .md, etc
- Optimal line spacing and length
- Word count
- Brain dump mode

■ Known issues

The app does not have the ability to print because of iOS limitations.

■ Brain dump mode

Lets you only write, but not delete or edit. This helps you focus on the actual writing instead of getting distracted with editing and nitpicking.

■ FAQ

‣ Can you add a typewriter mode (centered text)?

I don't plan to add that.

‣ Does it handle huge files?

No. The app is optimized for writing. Use a proper code editor for such files.

■ Support

You can contact me through the feedback button in the app.
